[Was]1 ist mir denn geschehen? Bin ich vom Traum erwacht? -- -- Wie meine Augen sehen! O, wie der Mund mir lacht! Als hätt's noch nie gegeben So lichtes Himmelsblau; Auf meinem ganzen Leben Liegt es wie Morgenthau. Und in dem tiefsten Innern, Da rieselt's wie ein Quell Von Hoffen und Erinnern -- Wie schön ist das, wie hell! O gold'ne Feierstunde! -- -- O komm, [du heißer]2 Mann, Und küß' mir still vom Munde, Was ich nicht sagen kann!

Que m'est-il arrivé ? Me suis-je éveillée d'un rêve ? Comme mes yeux voient ! Oh, comme ma bouche rit ! Comme s'il n'y avait jamais eu avant Un ciel bleu si lumineux ; Sur toute ma vie C'est tombé comme la rosée du matin. Et au plus profond de mon être, Cela coule comme une source D'espoir et de souvenir -- Comme c'est beau, comme c'est brillant ! Ô heure dorée de la célébration ! -- -- Oh, viens, toi cher mari, Et embrasse doucement de ma bouche, Ce que je ne peux pas dire !
